"To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company." --André Gide

Chapter A Day

Suzanne Beecher's employees, stay-at-home moms, didn't have enough time to read, so she did something simple: "One night in the daily company e-mail, I started typing in the beginning of a book that I was reading. I stopped after about a 5-minute read and said that I would continue the book in tomorrow's e-mail." Pretty soon, they were all reading. Four years later, Suzanne is running an organization with 50,000 subscribers who are emailed a "five minute" read every day. A new book starts every Monday, so to continue with the old one, you have to buy the book or check it out at the library. Many busy people are reading again!
